520 1 "Almost thirty years since its original publication,
Drawing Down the Moon continues to be the only detailed
history of the burgeoning but still widely misunderstood
Neo-Pagan subculture. Margot Adler attended ritual
gatherings and interviewed a diverse, colorful gallery of
people across the United States, people who find
inspiration in ancient deities, nature, myth, even science
fiction. Contrary to stereotype, what Adler discovered was
neither cults nor odd sects, but religious groups that are
nonauthoritarian in spirit and share the belief that
there is no one single path to divinity." "This fully
revised edition of Drawing Down the Moon has been expanded
to include an updated resource guide of newsletters,
journals, books, groups, and festivals."--BOOK JACKET.
